and oh, your eyes shone bright, like
the headlights of a million speeding cars; and
I confess-- youmightbesomethingincrediblewaitingtohappen.

Ohmygosh.

My tagboard is dyyyyying. *spasms*
A big hug and thankyou and a dozen pink elephants to the loverly people who've kept my tagboard fed so far.

A big "phhhhish" and nothankyou and a dozen your-name-goes-into-my-I-don't-give-a-damn-notebook wishes to the mean people who haven't.

I highly suspect that my blog is being watched. :/
BUT OHWELL.
Only goes to show that my blog's worth watching secretly anyway. :]

... Ash wants me to blog about track training. So here.
All You Need To Know About Trackers:
(disclaimer: Don't get insulted, or anything. This is totally just in fun, PLUS I'm not poking fun at y'all! I respect trackers. :] )
1. They run. Like, a lot.
2. Some of them (ahemASHANDWQahem) have, apparently, something against canoeists.
But less power to them, then; 'cuz it just so happens that having canoeists as friends is ze total ownage.
3. Their track jersey has smaller armholes than the canoeing singlet has. :/
4. They're fast.
5. They're fast.
6. They're fast.
....
.......
20. And just when you think they can't go faster;
they speed up.

...Aforementioned two trackers also are suffering under the delusion that all canoeists have no life whatsoever.
I beg to differ.

Today, I rowed in a K2 as per norm with Gill- pacing with M&M {Mei Xin and Maxy. I'm so good at this, aren't I.}, the J1 girls, and Mr Yong.

And today I found our legacy;
written in schoolgirl penmanship and felt markers, on the bow of NJC K2-07. (08? The number doesn't matter.)

"Push. Endure. Fight.
For you.
For me.
For us.
For them.
"

It was beautiful, and all the while I had that still silent whisper ringing through my head:
For us. For them. For us. For them.

And so I rowed my best.

For us, and for them.

And for Him.

And I've realized that when you've truly felt pain; truly felt what it feels to suffer and struggle and fight for what you believe in... as the pain intensifies;

so does life.

And life seems so much more beautiful because of that.

...If anyone wants/dares/has the nerve to challenge that, then here's a recommendation;

Go capsize in a T-craft. Without a life-jacket. At the 1km mark.
And may you get thwapped (accidentally, of course) over the head by a HCI K1er, and may you eat much backwash.

kthx.

I love this team, and anyone who dares to insult that is, (quite frankly, darling dear) an absolute loser.

So all non-losers (read: Loser ', All Subsets of Winners, All Un-Dorks) report to the white marquee now and confess that yes, canoeists DO have lives; and pretty awesome ones, too.

... But busy lives. Definitely busy.
I've got NAPHA, IP Preview, and track nationals (Ash'll want me to capitalize this, I suppose) Track Nationals next week; so I'm more than just a little nervy about it all.
Gah why do all the freakishly importantesque things all decide to rush down on me in the same week; do they have a grudge against rad people? >:[

La phish.

(be my something-incredible-is-waiting-to-happen,
please won't you, won't you, you will?)
